The successor of the Galaxy Tab S8 tablet line - the high-end Galaxy Tab S9 is ready to launch with this superior feature.
Samsung has been launching tablets for more than a decade, but the Galaxy Tab S series has never been water and dust resistant. As reported by SamMobile, the feature that was previously exclusive to the Galaxy Tab S Active series will finally appear on the Galaxy Tab S9 series.

Specifically, Samsung has added a coating to its tablets to increase water and dust resistance with the official IP67 standard - slightly lower than the IP68 standard on high-end smartphones. Accordingly, the IP67 standard will provide the device with complete resistance to dust and water resistance to a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes.

Dust and water resistance will make the Galaxy Tab S9 series more convenient when users use multimedia in the bathroom or kitchen. At the same time, they will increase their competitiveness with Apple's iPad Pro line (which is not yet dust and water resistant).
The new devices are expected to be officially introduced in the second half of 2023, possibly on the same stage as the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 foldable smartphones in August.
